DQ, The Drive In, and Too Many Kids!

I remember my dad bringing home big bags of burgers, fries, and shakes from DQ  in Carmichael, Ca. on the very occasional drive-in movie nights (typically Thursdays because the car-load of folks was cheapest). We would gorge ourselves like thieves before we left for the movies (as to not need to go to the concessions). The burgers were wrapped in real parchment paper with colorful DQ teardrop dots, the fries came in a small matching bag (grease soaked of course), and the milkshake cups featured Dennis the Menace. Life was good.
